Day 5: Mexico

Day 5 we were docked in Cozumel, Mexico.  Along the way to Mexico, we had a nice view of the island of Cuba.  It was pretty from a distance.

We had an excursion through some Mayan ruins this day.  Our tour guide met us as we got off the ship.  He gave us stickers with his name on it (Patrick), so we knew group we were in.  The ruins were in a National Park.  Patrick was very proud of his Mayan heritage, and gave a good tour.

 Mopeds are a popular form of transportation in Cozumel.  Gas is very expensive.   Helmets are required.

 Some of the ruins.  

 These pillars have a religious significance.  I already forgot what it was.  

After the ruins, we toured a museum on Cozumel/Mayan history.  There was a dancing exhibit/ritual.  We had a little buffet for lunch.  The next stop was a chocolate factory.  Eric got to help make chocolate.  It was yummy stuff.  More pics that are on my iphone...

Our evening meal was at Animator's Palate, which is the kids' favorite place!
